Pelosi pushes broad congressional agenda

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is downplaying her chances of becoming speaker in 2014 - as President Barack Obama predicted last week - and instead called for a broad legislative agenda this year, including immigration reform and new gun-control measures.

"That's nice that [Obama] said that, but the fact is what is important is that the Democrats regain the majority in the House," the California Democrat said during an interview on "Fox News Sunday." "Between now and then [2014], we have a lot of work to do."

"We want to pass comprehensive immigration reform," she said. "We want to keep our kids safe and pass some initiatives that relate to gun-violence prevention. We want to create jobs and have initiatives that create growth with jobs."

"What the president said was complimentary, but as far as I'm concerned, it's just about the issues. And the issues are better served by a Democratic majority in my view," Pelosi said. "That's what I'm hoping we will achieve in 2014."
